  • Reform of criminal laws in India

    Open Access•Nandini Chitara, Rakesh Meena et al.•ARTICLE•Medicine Science and the Law•2026

    Although India gained independence in 1947, its laws, namely the Indian Penal Code (IPC) of 1860, the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) of 1973 and the Indian Evidence Act (IEA) of 1872, were still in use. These criminal laws were primarily inherited from the statutes that were established during the colonial period. These laws were framed according to the crimes and legal needs of that time. Moreover, the 21st century is an era of artificial int…

  • A customized CNN model for signature authentication—Forensic implications

    Open Access•Rakesh Meena, Damini Siwan et al.•ARTICLE•Medicine Science and the Law•2026

    Signature authentication refers to the verification whether the signature is legitimate or forged and is executed by the person who is claiming to have signed it. The main objective of the present research was to customize a deep learning-based convolutional neural network (CNN) model trained on a primary dataset for signature authentication. The model was trained, validated, and tested on the dataset of the 1400 signature images (700 genuine and…

  • Artificial Intelligence and Identification of the Deceased

    Open Access•Damini Siwan, Akansha Rana et al.•ARTICLE•Behavioral Sciences & the Law•2025

    Identification of the dead is of utmost importance in mass disasters, war crimes, and forensic examinations. The biological profile, established by a forensic anthropologist is one the necessary steps involved in the identification of the dead. Several parameters can be estimated such as sex, age, stature, biogeographical affinity, and DNA profile of the unknown person. It is crucial to estimate these parameters of identification which may narrow…

  • Manual and Machine Learning Approaches for Classifying Real and Forged Signatures—A Comparative Study and Forensic Implications

    Open Access•Rakesh Meena, Damini Siwan et al.•ARTICLE•Behavioral Sciences & the Law•2025

    A handwritten signature is one of the forms of a biometric measure that creates an individual identity of the persons to mark their approval related to any document. The manual examination for determination of the authenticity of the handwritten signatures is a common practice amongst forensic document examiners. This process involves a detailed and thorough analysis of handwriting characteristics of an individual ensuring a comprehensive assessm…

  • Understanding familial resemblance of fingerprints

    Open Access•Akansha Rana, Damini Siwan et al.•ARTICLE•Annals of Anthropological Practice•2025•References: 31

    Although fingerprint analysis is widely used in forensic science investigations for personal identification, this unique feature of human beings always has something new to reveal. Genetic factors heavily influence fingerprint formation during embryonic development; therefore, there is a possibility of resemblance or inheritance of fingerprint patterns among the family members. The main objective of the present study is to understand the resembla…
